I'm kind of out of touch with eastenders lately (it can be hard to keep up when you work until 9pm most day) but i do still see the odd episode if I'm at my parents and my mum has it on and i still follow it on social media so i see some clips which is handy so still have a rough idea of what's going on but I'm hearing a lot of good things about it these days that I'm actially considering doing a bit of a binge and then keeping up properly again.

 

I'm seeing a lot of LGBTQ content (well L/G as soaps are allergic to having a bisexual character) but that's really peaked my interest more (to absolutely nobody's surprise) and I want to see what the Callum/Ben pairing is all about as well as Iqra apparently having a lesbian reveal soon? :o

 

and we can't forget our sexually liquid karen now can we :')

Karen is just at the to top of her game for a few months now and is providing some good laugh out loud moments.

Omg I know, she literally looks like Bernadette on holiday! I guess you could say that she at least doesn’t look like she’s trying to play someone way younger.

 

How old is Bernadette anyway?

 

I believe she is supposed to be 16? Clair herself is 21

GWON Dido getting that airplay!

 

I loved how every time Shirley knocked on a door tonight the occupants’ shit themselves.

 

Love how Jean can easily think on her feet when her family completely crumble.

Jean *.*

 

I really love her friendship with Shirley as well <3

Jean and Shirley are such different characters and i feel that is why their friendship works.

The friendships in the square need to be developed more as they open storyline further for characters.

Coming up next week:

 

 

The police continue to investigate Phil’s attack

Mick’s mental health storyline begins

Halfway and Whitney wedding drama

Sheree (Patrick’s new love interest) arrives and clashes with Denise

Iqra finds out that Bobby is studying Islam

 

One scene and I feel like I’m already stanning Sheree.

 

I wondered where I’d seen the new detective before but an article on DS explained. She has a new haircut but I usually see her acting in Welsh so to watch her speak English threw me a little!

So Bex, who is a teenage girl, who is somehow magically Oxford material, after failing all her exams not long ago, going out to party all the time, and generally looking like she's not studying/ not particularly smart, is now also magically the next Paula Radcliffe?! Are you having a larf Eastenders? So unrealistic. One: with A Levels, you work hard for two years, coursework, exams, and THEN do final exams, or you don't go to Oxford. It's not one exam takes all. Two: a fully grown man who goes to the gym to train cardio and running all the time v Bex, who is not fully grown, is a woman (and there's a reason why physical sports are divided by sex), who has literally BEEN SITTING EATING CHOCOLATE AND STUDYING AND DOING NOTHING ELSE FOR TWO MONTHS. She must have a magical cardiovascular system to beat him. Come on, EE - be realistic!

 

Also, Sharon suddenly knocking out Karen, drug lords, etc? SHARON? SHARON?! And then threatening everyone and challenging everyone to fights? Come ON. You don't wake up and turn into a gangsta. She would be k.oed by Karen, not the other way round.

 

Too unbelievable for me atm. Axe Sharon!

Sharon cannot be axed ever.

Just a few months ago, she was terrified of a gangsta woman, too, and was worried she was too weak and just Phil's wife. She can't go from that to the square's champion fighter gangsta woman! They'd be better off axing.

She punched one woman, she’s hardly gangster queen. Sharon has punched plenty of people over the years. You’ve picked a really weird thing to make out as unrealistic given everything else that’s going on with her.

 

Also Sharon is an EE institution. It will only be over for her when Letitia Dean decides.

She also punched out a hard as nails drug lord?! Also, the storyline at the moment with keanu is so unrealistic, but it is soap gold tbh.

Exactly. She’s in a very high profile storyline that has loads of mileage going forward. There’s no way she’d be axed now even if she wasn’t Sharon.

 

I actually can’t think of one character that needs axing right now.

Mick and Linda say hi.

 

Although saying that, Kat and Stacey's storyline is unrealistic, extremely out of character for both, and ruining the show...

can we axe adam, he can take habiba with him if he likes, as long as iqra stays x

Also, you say that, but so were Abbie and Lauren, Roxie and Ronnie, Lucy as the next Janine...

 

What's to stop them killing off another strong woman for ratings the next anniversay, seeing as they are terrified to kill off a man?

Yeah, I liked those characters too. But to call them an institution in the same way as Sharon is ridiculous.

You would think with the amount of murders and assaults in Albert Square over the years that there would now be CCTV cameras on every corner. If there were,the police would be able to solve this latest crime case very quickly.

It's a wonder anyone ever moves there at all :lol:
